Don't waste your money
A third rate school. Save your money and send your children to Firhill or Boroughmuir instead.
The worst time of my life.
I had the misfortune to be a pupil at George Watson's College. A truly dreadful school, if you care about the welfare of your children then please send them somewhere else!
Stay away
Truly awful experience. We had to remove our daughter due to serious safeguarding issues. When we went through the formal complaints process, we also did a subject access request and found that staff repeatedly lied about us and to us. The school was investigated a few years ago and found to be “at risk of becoming objectionable” due to safeguarding issues. Our experience was that they did not lear anything from this report and still don’t understand either basic safeguarding or child protection.
I now wouldn’t touch it with a barge pole.
